Baby Blanket - yet another one!

I managed to finish off this little wonder over the last week.

The side strips were knitted separately. The pin is there to help me know how far I've knitted in this session, because they felt NEVER ENDING!

The side strips were sewn on and then the top band was knitted in.

The final article is soft and cosy; it's also reversible as it's in moss stitch.

It has been a great way to use up these odd and ends of yarn. 

I have no idea who to give it to .........

Anyone pregnant?

: )

Blanket for Baby

This little blanket is done. Well the truth is, I've finished the stripes. 

I like the look of the repeating stripes and the soft feel of these wools, all of which came from Emmaus, the local charity shop.

This is all the wool I have left over, Talk about cutting it fine. And, NO, there's NO lilac wool left - NONE AT ALL!

The final task is to knit a border on the 3 naked sides. I'll do this by transferring the stitches you can see on those safety pins, to a knitting needle and then knitting into each row as I work my way up each side.

I'm sure it'll be lovely when it's finished!

Lucky there's not a baby waiting for it!

Flaky Fingers Wednesday 30.11.10

With both the mega cold winter and the tiling I've been doing lately, my hands are all dry and chapped.

It makes knitting the babies blanket a non-starter for the moment, which is a shame as I'm a third of the way up it and can see the finished article in my minds' eye. Don't worry ....

I'LL BE BACK!!

Knitty Group Meets Up Tuesday 9.11.10

Went knitting tonight and REALISED

I haven't posted this new creation. I know it doesn't look like much, but it should turn into a lovely little blanket with a gentle yellow border all the way around.

At Last, 

IT'S FINISHED!

The next task is to get it to the lucky recipient.

It's not as bad as I thought,

but not that good either.

Baby Blanket Wednesday 20.7.10

On the road journey back from the Hebrides I got to grips with the baby blanket.

I didn't finish sewing it together, but it did get half done.

AT LAST, LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
